A Poem of Great Beauty

A Poem of Great Beauty

beauty defined is unlimited
expansion of perception unaquitted
peaceful going to
sitting interlude
sallying forth to the brink
spaces under the sink
and then
waters of the formula
pieces of the storm hula
quantity
of separation
other sides of an equation
scrambled in another way
choosing to simply not say
when there is no other way
going inward to stay
having to see – truly see
wanting more for you and me
giving of the love immersed
holding on so not submersed
the chaos flows around and yet
one floats along as if to get
an easy ride, an easy berth
going to that place of worth
spelling out and drawing too
more and more as others do
the spaces fill with all consumed
the perfume of the flowers bloomed
ranting now and raving too
the whole of it has become true
experienced from in and out
now to know what its about
flipped around and seen again
oh to describe it with this pen
beauty to the seer is
only part of what there is
all eyes combined can truly see
the one eye of Creator be

*unaquitted defined as: not to conduct (oneself) in a specified manner

Percival

Percival represents the search
a passion? an illusion?
an endless channelled going to?
a compassionate want for fusion?

From Wikipedia:
In 1940 (Joseph) Campbell attended a lecture by Professor Heinrich Zimmer at Columbia University; the two men became friends, and Campbell looked upon Zimmer as a mentor. Zimmer taught Campbell that myth (rather than a guru or spiritual guide) could serve in the role of a personal mentor, in that its stories provide a psychological road map for the finding of oneself in the labyrinth of the complex modern world. Zimmer relied more on the meanings of mythological tales (their symbols, metaphors, imagery, etc.) as a source for psychological realization than upon psychoanalysis itself. Campbell later borrowed from Jung’s interpretative techniques and then reshaped them in a fashion that followed Zimmer’s beliefs— interpreting directly from world mythology. This is an important distinction, because it serves to explain why Campbell did not directly follow Jung’s footsteps in applied psychology.

 

United States of Being

United States of Being

the winds of time
the breaths of being
the inward expansion
the new ways of seeing

that knowingness feeling
the connection thru eyes
the stillness and silence
where time stops not flies

catapult beyond all states of the past
land in a place where a new form is cast
a form that unites all lives witnessed and lived
gathering the love and the wisdom each generation did give

the gems that we’ve seen
the jewels that we’ve been
united together
a beingness team

united states of being
from the best of the tests
becoming all we are
and knowing we are blessed
